Patient Testimonial on Clear Aligners
Patient Testimonial on Clear Aligners
This morning, we received wonderful testimonial from a patient about her experience with Dr White and our clear retainers ("Candid", similar to Invisalign - but done with less physical visits into the office!)
Jessica wrote, "I stopped smiling around my mid-50's because my teeth were becoming more and more crooked. I am so happy with my decision to use Candid aligners. The process is so simple; they send you a box of aligners, and you scan your teeth every few weeks (they provide the scanner). Then you move on to the next tray. I just completed my box of aligners and feel more confident and can't stop smiling. Also, Dr White and her team are kind and supportive and are with you every step of the way. After sharing my experience, I have two friends who are on their way to a great smile"

Dental Implants Are a Great Investment
Dental Implants Are a Great Investment
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are a durable, long-term solution. They are a great investment in your health, for aesthetics, and surprisingly for your wallet!
Unlike dentures or bridges, which often need to be replaced around every 10 years, dental implants are designed to last decades (with proper care). This long-lasting solution eliminates the need for frequent adjustments or replacements, saving you money and inconvenience over time.
Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence—without the worry of slippage or discomfort that can come with dentures or flippers. This improved functionality can enhance your diet, digestion, and overall well-being, which are important factors in long-term health.
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate. This bone loss can lead to a sunken facial appearance and further oral health issues. A missing lower tooth also causes the tooth above it to begin to fall downwards – eventually resulting in the loss of that tooth. Dental implants prevent these processes by stimulating the jawbone just like a natural tooth would as well as ensuring that the surrounding teeth don’t shift.
Perhaps one of the most underrated benefits of dental implants is the boost in self-esteem they provide. Having a full, healthy smile improves not just how others perceive you, but how you perceive yourself. For many, the ability to speak, laugh, and interact without hesitation is life-changing.
Talk to Dr. Cadwell at your next visit at PureCare Dental to ask about dental implants. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have, as well as provide a treatment plan showing pricing and timelines between procedures.

PureCare Dental Office Policies in relation to COVID-19
PureCare Dental Office Policies in relation to COVID-19:
Our office has always placed infection control as a top priority, and we will continue to do so. We are following the Center for Disease Control (CDC), American Dental Association (ADA), the Oregon Dental Association (ODA), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines and protocols.
All scheduled patients, and staff, are asked to notify our office if they develop any Coronavirus, or flu-like, symptoms. Any patient experiencing these symptoms will be rescheduled out a minimum of 14 days. Any staff member experiencing these symptoms will be required to self-quarantine for a minimum of 14 days.
Patients are asked to please text or call the office prior to entering the lobby for their appointment. This helps us maintain 6 foot distancing for patients checking in, as well as checking out.
Upon entering the lobby all patients receive a temperature screening. Patient are also required to wear a mask, over their mouth and nose, aside from when they are receiving dental treatment. We are also limiting guests – Patients are not permitted to bring a guest with them to their appointment (with the exceptions of parents/guardians, special needs, etc.)
As always, all operatories are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between each patient. All instruments are sterilized for each patient.
Each back office staff member (hygienists, assistants, and doctors) are equipped with proper PPE (N95 mask with a level 1 mask placed over it, eye protection, gloves, and scrubs). As always: Gloves and masks are changed between each patient. Scrubs and jackets are laundered 2x per day.
We have installed new air purifiers in each operatory, as well as one in the lobby and walkway.
Upon entering an operatory, all patients are required to swish with a hydrogen-peroxide rinse to help inactivate viruses, including Covid-19.
During all dental cleanings, the hygienist uses “ReLeaf” which is a hands-free high volume suction that reduces the spread of aerosols. Dentists may also use a "Dry-Sheild" system for your dental work, which is similar to "ReLeaf".
We have Plexiglas barriers installed in all check in & check out areas.
Toys, magazines, and the Keurig machine have been removed from the lobby until further notice.
Your safety and health are our primary concerns, and we invite you to ask any questions you may have about the steps we have taken. Thank you for your support and understanding as we all navigate this together.
Sincerely,
Dr Eric Cadwell and Dr Tyler Fix
